> Yet alas, mobile users still spend the vast majority of their time in native apps. What’s going wrong here?

Easy:

- Apple only allows one browser -- their own -- on iOS

- Apple uses this control to cripple PWAs on iOS

- Apple's iPhone market share is significant enough that if Safari/iOS doesn't support something, businesses won't spend time on using it

E.g.: chat/communication apps cannot be written as PWAs, since Safari on iOS still doesn't support notifications.
